DESCRIPTION:The Higgs boson coupling to the muon is one of the last experi
 mentally accessible frontiers In the direct measurement of Higgs boson cou
 plings at the LHC. This seminar will highlight the first evidence for the 
 rare Higgs boson decay to muons achieved by the CMS Collaboration using th
 e full dataset collected at 13 TeV during Run-2 of the LHC. This milestone
  was achieved earlier than expected thanks to the excellent performance of
  the CMS detector\, with high precision tracking and muon reconstruction s
 ystems\, and also through the development of novel analysis strategies tha
 t include intensive use of machine learning techniques. The first set of m
 easurements of the Higgs boson properties through the muon decay channel i
 s presented with the observed signal well consistent with the standard mod
 el predictions. Finally prospects for this measurement at the HL-LHC with 
 the upgraded CMS detector are reported.
